ABSTRACT

The representation of information effects its interpretation and meaning; therefore the careful presentation of information is a mainstay of education. Modes of educational presentation have included the telling of stories, the drawing of pictures and diagrams, the writing of texts, and the production of videos and software. The presence and potency of the performer, or presenter, in this communication cannot be underestimated, however, in this chapter we will pay particular attention to the role of digital media representations in communicating musical knowledge.
